Any tips on managing the common side effects like headaches and stomach issues? How has it worked for you guys?

I was recently prescribed Efavirenz/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fum to treat HIV-1. It's a once-daily medication that's supposed to help reduce the viral load and boost my CD4 count.
